Yes, you have a mature male hairline with very early corner recession. The best way to treat this is with Finasteride

I have always assumed that a male will not recede from genetic balding without some hair loss somewhere on the scalp. This patient has challenged me as I hold this concept. I believe that both the frontal forelock (in some people) and the juvenile hairline in all men, have a different genetic makeup with regard […]
This 10 year study of finasteride in Japanese men is very significant. (1) it revealed improvement and prevention of disease progression in 99.1% of the 532 Japanese men with AGA treated with 1 mg/day finasteride for 10 years, (2) younger patients show more improvement than that of older patients with AGA treatment [24,25]. In this […]
What concerns me is the potential for change and any lack of planning for an outcome like this: https://baldingblog.com/need-master-plan-think-hair-transplants-photos/ I see such patients at all ages who developed balding that they didn’t expect. I always keep my eye on the donor supply, knowing that one should never use it up before the balding pattern completes, which […]
Struggled with aggressive hair loss since 19. Started the Big 3 in August 2016, and was a great responder after the initial 3 months shedding. After 2 years of being a thick NW2.5, in August 2018, I had a relatively big shed and expected this to grow back, but it didn’t. Instead I’ve seen my […]
I saw him on my walk and I have no idea what came over me, but I just had to tell him that he had great hair. I’m shedding at 24, and this guy was well into his fifties with a full head of glorious hair. This is not uncommon, but this may not be […]
I’ve had the temples like that for a long time. Thing is I’ve recently noticed that some of my scalp in the front is visible when I’m in the bathroom where there’s a lot of light. Also a hair dresser (not my usual one) recently commented on how thing my hair is. I don’t know […]
I keep seeing this pop up. I am 19 right now with a NW2.5-3 and just started taking finasteride. My plan is take fin for a year then — assuming I respond to finasteride normally (just maintain hair, am not a non-responder/super responder) — get a hair transplant at 20/21ish. Why would this be such […]
A full work-up with blood tests and an extensive examination is needed ( https://baldingblog.com/common-blood-tests-for-female-hair-loss/ ). Do you have a family history of hair loss on the female side of your family? If you do, then it is possible that this is purely genetic, and if the doctor can’t identify a cause, then we offer scalp […]
The use of Creatine with or without steroids seems to contribute to hair loss, see here:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19741313/
What a great picture! At least two of those in the photo, kept their hair where it was 20 years before. Nobody likes to get old, worse still, look older.
Finasteride might help you in the hairline recession but not in the temple peaks which is under pure genetic control separate from male patterned genetic balding
This is a condition called Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) which is a form of a scarring alopecia that destroys the hair follicle and then replaces it with scarring, resulting in permanent hair loss. The skin is shiny and mottled (this does not show well in the photo), and the hair ostea have some plaques around them. […]
Yes, you have female genetic thinning. If it is in the female family line (fathers or mothers side) aunts, grandmothers, sisters, mother, cousin, etc.. then it most likely is female genetic hair loss. This is best treated cosmetically with scalp micropigmentation (https://scalpmicropigmentation.com) which shows other women like you and their results with the treatment. Our […]
Yes, at 21, you have better than a 30% chance of improvement on this drug.
